I – IMG Words of Adventure | #AtoZChallenge #BlogchatterA2Z

A couple of days back, it was adventure coupled with fast rides at Ferrari world, then we headed to adventure in nature at Hatta. Today I will take you to a place where it is escapade of a new kind. It is an adventure with cartoon and Marvel characters. If you have been to this place you would have guessed it by now. I am talking about the ‘IMG World of Adventure.’
IMG World of Adventure is an indoor amusement park and is Dubai’s first mega themed entertainment destination. It is the world’s largest temperature-controlled indoor themed entertainment destination, with an area in excess of 1.5 million square feet, which welcomes more than 20,000 guests a day.
The park is divided into five ‘epic zones’. Two of the five zones represent global brands Cartoon Network and Marvel, while IMG Boulevard and the Lost Valley – Dinosaur Adventure zones are original concepts created by the IMG Group. Novo Cinema is the fifth section of IMG Worlds of Adventure, which has a 12 – screen Novo Cinema complex.
The adventure world includes rollercoasters; thrill rides, and other attractions based on popular Cartoon Network characters, iconic Marvel Super Heroes and animatronic dinosaurs along with a wide variety of themed retail stores and dining venues.
